Strong's Lexicon katastréniaó: To grow wanton, to become indulgent Original Word: καταστρηνιάω Word Origin: From the Greek prefix κατα- (kata-, meaning "down" or "against") and a derivative of στρηνιάω (strēniaō, meaning "to be wanton" or "to live luxuriously"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for καταστρηνιάω, the concept of wantonness and indulgence can be related to Hebrew words like זָנָה (zanah, meaning "to commit fornication" or "to be unfaithful") and עָגַב (agab, meaning "to lust" or "to be inordinate"). Usage: The verb καταστρηνιάω is used to describe a state of becoming wanton or indulging in excessive luxury and sensuality. It implies a turning away from discipline and self-control, often leading to moral laxity. In the New Testament, it is used to caution against the dangers of idleness and the resulting moral decline. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, luxury and indulgence were often associated with moral decay. The early Christian community, living amidst such cultural influences, was urged to maintain a lifestyle of moderation and self-control. The term καταστρηνιάω reflects the tension between the Christian call to holiness and the surrounding culture's emphasis on pleasure and excess.
